me and my family are on a "road trip" up north, and this Monday evening we arrived in Bodø.

Strange feeling to be in Kristiansand and say welcome to my home in Bodø.

I am glad you found Gamle Salten. Beautiful picture Sterkoder. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Bodø. And if you will be on the road at the northern part of Bodø. (Ausvika, Geitvågen, Mjelle, Kjerringøy) you can look down and see if you can see my footsteps. If you visit Geitvågen, please say HI from me, to all my dear friends.

That sounds like a lot of fun.. think there was 2 or 3 departures annocuned... (this year).

I had friends that was on a bike-cruise Kjerringøy-Steigen-Hamarøy last year. They recomended this trip very much.

But the ticket-price is too high for me and most of my biking-friends. So this bike-and-sail-cruises with "Gamle Salten"appeals most to the rich capitalists who normaly DON`T spend their holidays on a bike-seat........

Back in 2015, I visited Gamle Salten at her post in front of Lofoten at Bodo. She did not look in good condition compared with 2009 photo above.

Nari, you wrote this comment on page 1 of this thread. Sorry, I can not agree to your impression. As you can see on Jan-Olavs pictures from 2014 and on mine from June 2015, she is looking well maintained.

I think you can catch every ship "on a wrong day", for example shortly before spring cleaning. May be that happened to you.

That must no be the personal mood, If a ship is not tidy, because since weeks nobody had been on board and she is about to get the yearly paint job soon, she may really look tired and you can get such an impression.
